First time I watched this film I really didn't care for It and found it laughable. But, each year I give it another go and find myself liking it more and more each time. No its not a great movie, it is incredibly cheesy but I love cheesy films and I think that is why I found myself enjoying it. Pairs well with other cheesy xmas films like Santas Slay and Silent Night Deadly Night.

Sinterklaas is a Dutch feast for children. In November Sinterklaas comes to the Netherlands on a steamboat with his helpers (Black Petes) to hand out gifts, leading up to December 5th when it's 'pakjesavond'. This is when he and his helpers leave bags full of gifts at the doors of families with young children. During this period leading up to December 5th children are allowed to place their shoes near the fireplace and the Black Petes' will climb down the chimney and leave gifts in the childrens' shoes. Yes, they are black from the soot, nothing politically incorrect there. This is our Christmas and it is a beautiful lie I enjoy telling to…

Disappointing to find the proceedings so wearisome because not since Rumpelstiltskin has a medieval prologue engendered in me such goodwill & cheer, but when it plops into the present, all the ghost ship trappings & 15th century undead marauding become hard to relish so crowded out by dreadfully vanilla wrong man/police won't investigate the supernatural murders stuff.

Saint (Sint) is a Dutch Horror film by well known Dutch director Dick Maas, at least he is well known here, in Holland. We know him from Amsterdamned and the Elevator (De Lift), two fun horror flicks.

With Saint he returns to the horror genre, every 23 years when there is a full moon on 5 december (in Holland that day is "Pakjesavond") Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas) will kill people and children. Helped by his Black Petes they make Holland unsafe.

Some of the kills are brutal, I'm was never really into Jan Weeber so he didn't impress me here. Wish Huub Stapel had a bigger role as the Saint and…

Awww! I really wanted to like Sint! I grew up in The Netherlands, so the idea of a Sinterklaas slasher film excited me a lot. Add Amsterdamned's Dick Maas as director and it would seem to be a guaranteed good time. And for its first thirty minutes or so, I was having fun. I ignored the moments of dodgy CGI gore and let its Zwarte Piets and poem swapping take me back to my childhood. It was funny, it was set against a beautiful Amsterdam backdrop, it had an appropriately ludicrous concept. Then it crumbled in on itself. Sint suddenly lurches to a halt and becomes lengthy scenes of exposition engulfed in digital fog. As I got more and more…

Putting a dark gloss on a Christmastime legend, "Saint" (aka "Saint Nick") has potential to squeeze some horrific spirit out of the yuletide season. Unfortunately, the film's light tone and limp story do-in the experience, making the almost watchable horror outing instantly forgettable.

Reimagining the legend of Saint Nicholas with the added touches of revenge, child murder, and zombie-style Black Peters, "Saint" piles on the gore with beheadings aplenty as Saint Nick returns to Amsterdam to punish the city's residents. The premise is compelling, but the film's light tone makes everything come off as silly. Add to that a story that has very few places to go, and "Saint" descends into tediousness. There is much blood-soaked mayhem to be had, but the film carries very little impact and leaves its audience out in the cold.

This is a foreign Christmas horror film from the neatherlands, so it's all in Dutch I believe and the title translates to Sint. It sets up Saint Nicholas as a pillager and a kidnapper in the first five minutes before the villagers rebel and torch his ship killing him and his crew. I had seen the cover art for this film on numerous occasions but I didn't exactly know what I was in for with this film, but I came out the other side pleasantly surprised. They're loose with the timeline of Nicholas' return, the years differ depending on the person telling the story, but on December 5th Saint Nicholas returns to spread some Yuletide bloodshed and take more kids…
